you will surely stall this bad boy if you dont give it throttle my dad has a vert this car needs to be revved up to about rpm for a good start without hiccup and even still it can be tricky also this car has a rather large clutch travel to grab point also be very careful when shifting into reverse lift up on the lock and make sure you are all the way over it is possible to lift the lock and slide up to a place between st and r this jams the tranny and is a bitch to unjam so really make sure you are all the way to the left before pushing up into reverse
